Katnis's eyes widened as he looked at Eric who had come up proudly, completely incomprehensible as he came now.

It's shocking that he said that voluntary was true.

Others don't think so, isn't this kind of behavior tantamount to replacing Peeta?

The most shocked Pita could no longer hold back his face as he tried to maintain his composure, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Close call!

Broken, Pita crouched down and held her head, trying to stop her crying, but her mind was confused.

I survived, I don't know him, what the hell is going on?

No one dared to stop Ning Yun, who was striding forward, and even the sheriff retreated to both sides.

For volunteers, for whatever reason, the sheriff will also show respect if he chooses to volunteer.

As he passed Peta, Ning Yun patted him on the shoulder.

Awakened by the crouching Peta, he stood up, not knowing how to face the person who had volunteered to replace him.

Pita opened her hand and wanted to make a hug gesture of thanks, but she didn't find any response from the other side.

It wasn't until at the back of the crowd that Pita's father, the bakery, shouted, "Peeta! ”

Pita opened his mouth, still confused and still didn't know what to say, lowered his head and walked back to the crowd.

Ning Yun walked up to the stage, stood beside Katnis, and nodded.

Turning around, he faced the crowd.

But this time it was different, there was still discussion, but no one paid tribute to Ning Yun.

Most of them looked at Ning Yun with strange eyes.

Ning Yun is a little strange, could it be that the power of racial discrimination is so great, even if it is so big, it is impossible to show it in the movie.

Katniss also saw the unusual reaction from the audience and whispered comfort: "They misunderstood. ”

"What?"

Katniss shook her head slightly.

Under Effie's command, Ning Yun walked to Effie's other side. and Katniss on both sides.

Effie was very excited, as a correspondent of the 12th district, two volunteers appeared at a time, and she had such a dramatic appearance, and she had most of the credit.

Asked for the name, Effie's slightly excited voice passed through the screen. Reach every district, every person.

"It's all here, and that's the tribute of our 12th district. Amazing two volunteers, for the first time in the history of the 12th arrondissement! ”

"Shake hands, you two." Effie pulled Katniss and Ning Yun on the left and right.

Katnis's eyes were sad, recalling the scene when she got the food roll from Eric the other day, and her sister's surprised expression when she ate the food.

In a heavy and eerie atmosphere, the two hands clasped each other.

This time, Ning Yun felt more profoundly, which was different from the movie. Katnis's hands were thin, with hard joints and rough skin, cold without a hint of warmth.

Up close, Katnis's face is also much thinner, with an average height, and even his standing posture is not so straight.

The only thing that can be called an advantage is. More flexible movements than the average person.

Even standing in front of the eyes, it's hard to believe that this girl will eventually win the Hunger Games.

People dedicate to Katniss. It is the courage of the thin body to replace his sister, and it is the farewell to the death of this brave girl.

Ning Yun is very sure that Jennifer Lawrence played her own confidence and strength, but did not play the lack of confidence and thinness that belonged to Katniss.

Even with the same face, these are two completely different people.

Effie was holding hands in a cheerful tone. Delicate rhythm, spit out the words of blessing: "Happy Hunger Games, may the opportunity always be in your favor!" ”

In silence, Effie pushed Katniss and Ning Yun into the courthouse.

Entering the door, Ning Yun and Katniss were led into separate rooms. One person stays there.

The room was gorgeous, with thick carpets, velvet sofas and chairs.

A black sheriff pushed the door open and walked in.

"You don't have any relatives?" He confirmed.

"I have no relatives in this world." Ning Yun replied in a sure voice.

The black sheriff threw a flask over: "Maybe you need it." ”

Ning Yun unscrewed the lid of the pot, took a sip, sat on the sofa, and stroked the velvet: "I didn't expect this atmosphere, it's different from what I thought." ”

"Get used to it, kid. May you make it to the end. The black sheriff left the room and closed the door gently.

Just when Ning Yun thought that he would spend the visiting time alone, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Someone came in, it was the bakery owner, Peta's dad.

The bakery owner sat nervously on the edge of his velvet chair, a tall, broad-shouldered man with some burning scars on his face from years of spending time by the fireside.

He took out a white paper bag from his pocket and handed it to Ning Yun.

Ning Yun opened the paper bag, which contained sweet cakes, a luxury that most poor people could never afford.

"Thank you." Ning Yun made himself look genuinely grateful.

The owner of the bakery hurriedly waved his hand, he usually doesn't like to talk much, and now he can't express it.

It seemed that no one could remember anything, and the two just sat and didn't speak.

The sheriff pushed the door in and said it was time.

Before the bakery owner walked out of the door, Ning Yun said seriously: "I am voluntary, and it has nothing to do with Peta." ”

The bakery owner paused, and his back was hidden by the door.

Then, Katniss's boyfriend, Gail, comes in.

"You're going to make an alliance with her, right?!" Gail splits his head and covers his face.

Ning Yun nodded: "I will." ”

Gail stared at Ning Yun: "I hope that in the end, no matter what your plans are, I hope you can protect her at the beginning stage." ”

Ning Yun still nodded: "I will." ”

Gail said quickly: "What weapon are you good at, preferably melee combat, Katniss uses a good bow and arrow, you can complement each other." ”

This is not an easy question to answer, in addition to thermal weapons, Ning Yun has studied only daggers, batons, rifles with bayonets. I can't say anything else, but it's only a little bit better than a beginner.

"I'm not sure yet, I'll try it then."

Gail frowned: "You did it voluntarily?" Are you sure you are voluntary? ”

"Of course I am." Ning Yun did not hesitate.

Gail's brow furrowed even tighter: "Why don't you replace Polym, not Katnis." Since you are voluntary? ”

"Instead of Katniss, how to replace." Ning Yun was puzzled.

"Of course, don't you know? Regardless of whether the volunteer is a boy or a girl, it can be substituted for a non-volunteer boy and girl. ”

"I don't know." Ning Yun didn't know these default rules in the world of The Hunger Games, and even if he did, he couldn't replace Katniss.

Gail's face was ugly, "If you're in the limelight." You should be more in place of Polym and Katniss than Peeta. No one thinks it makes sense for you to replace Peeta, and in District 12, it's stupid, and even if you win, you won't be respected. ”

"Why do you think I'm in the limelight?"

Gary didn't know how Eric had spent all these years: "According to the rules, if a child, whether boy or girl, is named, another candidate boy or girl can take his or her place. In other districts, it is an honour to be selected for the harvest festival ceremony. There are many people who are willing to risk their lives for this, and the process of volunteering is very complicated. However, in the 12th district, "tribute" and "corpse" are almost synonymous, and volunteers have disappeared. You don't have any relatives and you don't have contact with everyone, so a lot of people think that you are training alone for many years to be in the limelight, and then sign up voluntarily. Just like the willing children in other districts, they are confident of winning in the end. ”

Ning Yun only now understood what those strange eyes were all about. Such a perception is very bad for oneself.

In the original film, Pita's strategy has always been to pretend that she is weak in order to move the audience, and finally survive with Katniss.

If you leave the impression of a strong man, the audience's sympathy will run away at once.

The sheriff pushed the door in and urged the time to come.

Not as cold as the sheriff on Katniss's side, who gave him a minute to say goodbye.

Gail said quickly, "Protect her, protect Katnis." ”

Ning Yun suddenly remembered. Take out a stack of groceries and stuff it to Gail: "Half for you, half for Katniss's sister, take care of her family." ”

Gail was stunned, Eric was acting too strangely.

How could you give me the food rolls and let me take care of Katniss's family.

Suddenly Gail laughed angrily: "You actually ......"

The sheriff dragged an agitated Gail away. Then the door slammed shut.

It was a short distance from the courthouse to the train station, and it was a car ride, and Effie kept explaining the precautions.

The train station was packed with reporters and cameras, with the camera on Katniss and Ning Yun.

Katniss was expressionless, and the TV on the wall was broadcasting the two of them arriving at the train station.

Ning Yun was similar to Katnis, with a more cold and indifferent expression.

Stop outside the train door for a few minutes for the camera to take pictures.

When he got on the bus, Katnis's expression changed, and he looked at the luxurious carriage a little overwhelmed.

As soon as I entered the carriage, the table was filled with food and fruit, drinks, drinks, and desserts, all of which were good things that Katniss had never seen before.

With all sorts of delicate and shiny items, Katniss felt that her eyes were not enough.

Everyone can enjoy a single room with bedroom and dressing area, as well as a private bathroom with hot and cold water supply.

The cupboard is full of beautiful clothes, and Effie tells the two that they can do whatever they want, that they can wear whatever they want, and that everything is at their disposal.

"Even if you're here for a while, even if you're not here for a long time, you can still have a good time."

Obviously, Effie was not optimistic that the two would win, and got up and left to find the Black Secret Contract.

The Black Secret is one of only two winners in Sector 12 in the last seventy-four years, and the only one alive.

He is the mentor to Katniss and Ning Yun, teaching them how to succeed in The Hunger Games.

Effie leaves, leaving only Katniss and Ning Yun.

I don't know if it's not used to it or for other reasons, in the glamorous carriage, Katniss looks even thinner and thinner.

There is almost no more impression of Jennifer Lawrence's round face and strong face on Ning Yun in the original movie.

"Don't worry, your sister has been selected once, and the chance of winning the two draws is one in a million."

Even if he knew that this was wrong, Ning Yun still comforted him in this way.

Katniss tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Thank you." ”

"Don't worry about her hunger, I gave the food rolls to Gail and asked him to pass on half of them to your sister and the rest as payment for taking care of her."

Hearing this, Katniss perked up a little: "Why? ”

"There's not so much why, I've said it. Let's think about it later. ”

Katniss was silent.

Ning Yun didn't know what was going on, so he had to find another topic: "Do you know Peeta?" ”

"Are you sure you're not here to replace Peeta?" Katniss asked suddenly.

"Of course not, I didn't know him at all, and I didn't say a word." Ning Yun shook his head.

"I've met him a few times." Katniss fell into memory.

Pita McLack is not a friend, not even a neighbor. No words were spoken, and the real contact was a few years ago.

He may have forgotten, but Katniss hasn't and never will......

It was the hardest time for the family, as his father had died in a mining accident three months earlier, in January, the coldest month of Katniss's life.

The numbness of the loss of his father had passed, and in his place was a constant well-up of pain that struck with double force, making Katniss weep uncontrollably.

The district gave a little money as compensation for the father's death, which was enough for the family to spend a month.

Katniss was terrified that her mother had been imprisoned in a dark world of sorrow, and all Katnis knew at the time was that she had lost not only her father, but also her mother.

At the time, Katniss was eleven years old and Bolim was only seven, and Katniss had no choice but to carry the burden of the family.

Katniss bought the food from the market, made it as good as she could, and did her best to keep herself and Polym looking at people, because if anyone knew that the mother could no longer take care of the child, someone in the district would take the child from her and send it to the community home.

It is not uncommon to see children in welfare homes at school. Their anguish and sorrow, their faces stamped with anger, their bodies hunched out of despair, all of this was etched in Katniss's mind. Nothing like that would ever happen to Polym.

Polim is so petite and well-behaved, as long as she cries, she will cry with her for no reason. Before going to school, she would always comb her mother's hair, braid her hair, and often wipe her father's shaving glasses, but in the welfare home, she would be trampled to death like a bug. So no matter how difficult it is at home, Katniss still keeps it a secret.

The money is slowly running out, and the family is dying of starvation. There was no other way, and Katniss said to herself, as long as we could hold on until May, and as long as we reached May, we would be twelve, and we would be able to get food stamps, and we would be able to feed ourselves. It's just a few weeks before May, and by that time we must have starved to death. (To be continued.) )
